Hello everyone! My female axolotl, Ginger, has a black spot on her side that she’s had ever since she was little. However, I’ve noticed recently that it’s grown a bit. She’s a wild type so has a lot of pigment spots in general, I just wanted to make sure this wasn’t anything to worry about. It’s completely flat, it doesn’t protrude out like a bump at all. If anything it looks most like a big freckle. I don’t have much to compare it to size-wise, but it’s probably about the size of the tip of a Q-tip. Any ideas of what it might be? Should I be worried?

I can't open the pictures but from the description it sounds like pigmentation :)

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
